Liar Game

Have you guys heard of this comic "Liar Game"?


It's a strategic manga that is full of surprises and mysteries and of course top-notch intelligence.


It is an impeccable manga so to speak. There are a copious amount of psychology concepts in it. So feel free to go read about it when you have the chance.


In the mean time, I will discuss about one of their concepts here, which I'm 100% sure that every single one of you out there is a victim of.


People are naturally more cautious when they are around people who they deemed to be untrustworthy.


Imagine this scenario.


A small, isolated village up the mountain will most likely treat a visiting outsider with suspicion.


Not easy to relate to right? It's okay, let me put it in simpler terms.


Imagine that you are not happy with what you wear today and that you feel sucky about it.


Then, come along a group of girls and suddenly they looked at you and they start to laugh away, and somehow you hear them talking about clothes but then again, you are not completely sure of it.


Immediately, you will start to feel uncomfortable and you will instantly feel that they are actually talking about you. You will be second-guessing yourself.


This will be especially prominent when you hear them talking about something which you are extremely sensitive to, possibly your weakness.


Let me give you another example, let say you are guilty of your body or your looks.


Then you hear people giggling at one corner and stealing looks at you randomly. I'm sure instantly you will be thinking to yourself, are they laughing at my looks or hair? Or my dressing? Or are they talking bad about me?


You get all paranoid when in actual fact, they are not even talking about you at all!


This is the power of psychology.


To mislead people and to exploit their trust and insecurity.


This is just the tip of the iceberg of psychology and Liar game.


Do go and read it if you are interested.


There are alot more mysteries in there.
